Everybody knows how to work on your line you can line up the stripe and you can putt roll in a stripe end over end everybody knows how to work on their speed hitting putts to different particular pins on the putting green to feel the difference between of hill side hill and downhill putts. Now how do you correlate these to line and speed? Well the 1st thing I'm going to do is I'm going to hit the putt really hard and I had a really hard we can see that there is very little break in the next one I'm going to hit a little bit easier and will hit a little bit easier we can see the gravity pulls on the golf ball a bit more. So all I'm doing is I'm experimenting with my pace trying to get the correlation between line and speed so the feeling is just like you're pitching a ball under-handed if you've played Bochy ball it's nothing more than rolling the golf ball at the pace that it needs to take the break that you choose.
If you're going to throw a really hard it's not going to break if you throw it really easy gravity is going to pull on it's going to break so the correlation between line and speed can be very easily found by going on the putting green and finding a very big breaking putt. Whether it's left or right right left doesn't matter but I'm going to hit some easier putts way up high let him kind of fall into the hole a little bit harder putts more at the hole so they come to chase a little bit more forward so I have to figure out what speed is best for me. You've got some putters that are more die type of putters like a Mickelson Crenshaw they get up here and they can I just take a big break and they've got other putters like Calcavecchia Nick Price tend to just bang at the back of the hole and don't play a lot of break. Remember the correlation between line and speed is very very personal you have to figure out which one works better for you so take the time to roll some putts take the time to throw some balls on the head like you do and bacci ball to kind of get that feeling and you'll better correlate line and speed try it.
